Og,
Your ps is right on. I know her English is better than mine and that's almost scary.

I mentioned this on another thread but I'll give you a chuckle.
Recieved an email from the infamous anonymous---thanking me for reading /pc on their story.

While can at least understand the critiism, diatribes and nasty anon's...this was an author. Doe not make sense to me.

Hugo,

Sounds like they pulled a "Rumple" and forget to sign the fool thing.

Sweep-wise, I lost four votes and picked up .16 vote. The contest has helped the numbers--around 2300 views and 50 votes after two full days. That's not too shabby for a romance.

Seems this year's contest is generating a lot of traffic. LOL
I have 18 votes in less than 12 hours! Never happened before.
Apart from the Olympics.

A lot of traffic and entries. By my quick count, there were 89 this morning.

A lot of entries?

I suppose that's my fault.

Apart from submitting 3 stories of my own, I started this thread 'pour encourager les autres'.

The encouragement from those contributing to this thread seems to have been very effective and there is still plenty of time for MORE entries.

Anyone winning this year's Halloween contest will have competed against a very good field of contenders.

Anyone winning the coveted Last Place (TM) Contest will have to fight hard for the dishonour.

I can say that because I'm ineligible for awards at either end.

OMG!

My head is swimming from staring at my computer screen trying to read all the Halloween stories! lol I try to read whichever entries show up on that day... (can you tell I have no life? ) but missed yesterday and today I'm swamped... gonna have a ton to read tomorrow, I have a feeling...

Hey, Og, what makes you ineligible for winning? Winning one before?

 

[oggbashan]

Hey, Og, what makes you ineligible for winning? Winning one before?

Yes, but not for 'winning' - third place in the Free Speech contest. The Last Place (TM) Contest - I have won it a few times and I'se bof de judge and de jury.

well it seems to be a fairer system than the one in place... :x

I get the feeling first place is going to be a popularity contest *sigh*

If it is, I'm ever more SOL.

Selena, reading on a computer screen bugs a lot of folks. For anything over one page, I copy and paste it into WORD, then change the font (I prefer to read, Bookman Old Style) and enlarge it 14. You might try tinkering with settings.

I'm a slow reader, so I start with the one-pagers and work my way up. There seems to be more of those than usual. At the moment I've made it to the two-pagers. That's why I haven't read yours, yet. But I will.

Looks like there has been another sweep. Lost 2 votes and gained .2 or so.

Still far behind the leaders I'm sure, but not too bad a showing.

CD,

You got my curiosity roused. I've noticed a sizable number of the entries have been in Erotic Horror which, I suppose, makes sense for a Halloween contest. So after reading your post, I slipped over to the TOP list and checked it out.

Seems like you're in very good company.

are all with .02 of each other. Of course, that's before I give your story the RCV treatment.

This coulg be a very interesting race.

I quit stressing and decided to have fun.

Looks like I'm in very high company there. I doubt it will last. I'm sure I'll drop by the wayside before long, but I'm glad I at least tried it out.

Yay!! My story is up...

Hope you guys get a chance to read it...

My score is pretty shitty compared to where my stories usually are. And, I didn't lose any votes in the sweep, either.

s'okay, I was just here for the fun in this one anyway. Hey, if it actually got me to write something, then I won.

k... 'nother stupid question...

how are votes counted exactly to tabulate a contest winner? Is it just the final highest score that wins, or does the overall number of votes weigh in at all?

 

[oggbashan]

Went back. Looked. Nice - but I still think your words said it all.

Number of votes don't count anything, as long as you have the required 25 to be eligible. It's strictly on score.

I have a question.

I notice on the Halloween Contest page, some story titles are red, some authours are read and some have both.

Any significance to this?

that's the stories you've read, Rob, or clicked on, at least.

I noticed that too, and I figured it was the ones I'd read... but then when I go back to the page, I KNOW there are stories that I've read that are now black (instead of red) again... weird...

Thank you cloudy.
